context: i met this girl on tinder who's is on the spectrum, we talked for a bit and then exchanged our ig accounts, but she hasnt replied since. I dont understand what happened, if shes just busy, needs time or lost interest. I have no way to tell and im too scared to ask. What should I do?

Personally, I'd send one more message asking to meet for a coffee date. Maybe frame it as a standing offer she can claim in the future if she doesn't have the capacity for it at the moment.

And then move on with your life and don't wait around expecting a reply.

It shows interest, lets her reply in her own time and if the interest is shared lets you become more than just another chain of messages on tinder.

Pro tip for the future: I always exchange cat/pet pics after switching off a dating app. My cat is cuter than me so might as well use that to my advantage! As a bonus I get more pet pics for my collection!
